In the network of Nazi camps across wartime Europe, prisoner of war
institutions were often located next to the slave camps for Jews
and Slavs; so that British PoWs across occupied Europe, over
200,000 men, were witnesses to the holocaust. The majority of those
incarcerated were aware of the camps, but their testimony has never
been fully published. Here, using eye-witness accounts held by the
Imperial War Museum, Russell Wallis rewrites the history of British
prisoners and the Holocaust during the Second World War. He
uncovers the histories of men such as Cyril Rofe, an Anglo-Jewish
PoW who escaped from a work camp in Upper Silesia and fled
eastwards towards the Russian lines, recounting his shattering
experiences of the so-called 'bloodlands' of eastern Poland. Wallis
also shows how and why the knowledge of those in the armed forces
was never fully publicised, and how some PoW accounts were later
exaggerated or fictionalised. British PoWs and the Holocaust will
be an essential new oral history of the holocaust and an
extraordinary insight into what was known and when about the
greatest crime of the 20th century.
